The western frontier between Persia and the Ottoman Empire was long
a source of disputed claims by each. Supposedly settled under the
Treaty of Ezerum of 1847, in reality it took a further seventy
years to settle the details. This was achieved by the Turco-Persian
Frontier Commission. Ernest Hubbard was Secretary to the Commission
and a key factor in its success. From the Gulf to Ararat is his
account of the Commission and of the regions through which they
travelled. Often amusing but always informative it reveals the
realities of making a boundary in practice and the need to be aware
of local factors such as race, tradition, and religion, when
dealing with boundary issues.With an introduction by Sue
Littledale, the author's granddaughter, new photographs and
biographical material, and a foreword by Richard Schofield, one of
the leading international authorities on territorial questions in
the Middle East, From the Gulf to Ararat offers an engaging yet
remarkably relevant insight into the realities of boundary
delimitation.
